been a long season for the washington wizards so far and they only played 21 of 82 games. all of those without their star john wall. he has missed the entire season with a knee injury that doesn't seem to be healing fast enough. friday he got a lubricating shot and was told he could up his recovery workout. he dismissed the idea he would miss the entire season. >> hopefully with the shots i got and treatment i've been getting is helping me get healthy to play basketball, i don't want to miss the whole season but if it comes to t you have to but i'm trying not to think that far ahead. >> i know the wizards could really use him back but he would still be limited if he does come back but anything helps right now. >> we don't want him to get worse, though. that doesn't help when you're the face of the franchise for sure. >> that's what they did with rg3, let him heal. >>> the cbs evening news is next. have a great night.
